40 K TNTT championship, Ficko wins the gold

The 2009 TNTT time trial series concluded this fine evening with a 41.5K (according to Bikely.com) race. Ten racers came out to try to claim one of our championship medals. LaBicicletta/JLindberg's Ficko claimed the gold with a 44.4 kph average winning time of 56:07, The silver went to Petrovski of Wheels of Bloor with 56:43, and Midweek's Frake took home the bronze with 59:42.

4th place was LaBicicletta/JLindberg's Merrill Collins, the fastest female who almost claimed the bronze with a time of exactly 1 hour.

Conditions were very pleasant 23C, wind S @ 8kph, sky was completely clear.

This was our first use of the roads up this way, the suggestion provided by a Canadian Cyclist forum member. This was an excellent course, we appreciate the suggestion.

Not sure where to park yet.

We would do this lap 2x for nearly exactly 40k.

I think it would be hard to do a 40K near our normal spot because of the road construction. This would be a nice change as well.

I will plan on going out to ride it next week to see what it is like.

Any ideas, please let me hear them.
